6302.93.10.00 - Pile or tufted construction (666)

This HTS category, 6302.93.10.00, specifically covers made-up textile articles intended for use as bed linen, table linen, toilet linen, and kitchen linen, which are constructed with a pile or tufted weave. These items are made from man-made fibers and include a wide range of products such as towels, bath mats, tablecloths, and bedspreads characterized by their looped or cut pile surface. The "pile or tufted construction" is the defining characteristic for this particular classification.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 6302.93.20.00, also "Of man-made fibers: Other." While both fall under the broader category of man-made fiber linens, 6302.93.10.00 is exclusively for items exhibiting a pile or tufted construction. The sibling category, 6302.93.20.00, would encompass other made-up linens of man-made fibers that *do not* possess this specific pile or tufted characteristic, such as flat-woven towels or smooth-finished tablecloths.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories under 6302.93.10.00. Therefore, classification within this code is definitive based on the material (man-made fibers), the intended use (bed, table, toilet, or kitchen linen), and the construction method (pile or tufted). Importers and exporters should ensure that the goods' physical characteristics and declared construction align precisely with the criteria of pile or tufted fabric to correctly utilize this tariff heading.
